Thanks for the repsonses. I don't think this is a bug, it's most likely
something wrong in a config file. And it most likely is caused by a
disconnect between some standard in 12.04 and 12.10.
Here's the screenshot:

I'm going to redo my install from scratch and see if that solves it.
Sincerely,
Ryan

Having looked at a number of Debian packages to see how they work, I have noticed that icons can be supplied in different sizes, and different formats. <BR>
<BR>
The application (amsynth) supplies two icons in its Debian package, putting them in the "/usr/share/pixmaps" folder:<BR>
<BR>
amsynth.png (which is a more typical size, but is still unusual, in being 48 x 49 pixels)<BR>
<BR>
and<BR>
<BR>
amsynth.xpm (which is much bigger (108 x 105 pixels) than any of the other icons in that folder)<BR>
<BR>

According to the gimp graphics editor, this icon is 108 pixels wide, by 105 pixels high. Typically, an icon is 32 x 32 pixels, or 16 x 16 pixels. This one (as supplied in its Debian package) is huge. <BR>
